Axis Bank Personal Loan at a glance
Axis Bank's personal loan range runs from about 11% to 22%, one of the widest spreads among private banks. Employer category and your existing relationship move you along that range more than anything else.
Tenure goes up to seven years, so the EMI can be kept low — but check total interest before stretching it, because unsecured interest compounds quickly.

Frequently asked questions

750 or above gets the best pricing. Between 700 and 750 you may still be approved at a higher rate, and below 700 approval is difficult without an existing banking relationship or collateral.
Can I prepay my Axis Bank personal loan?
Usually after 6 to 12 EMIs, with a foreclosure charge of 2–4% of the outstanding principal. Check the sanction letter before you plan an early exit.
How much can I borrow on my salary?
Commonly up to 24 times your net monthly salary, capped by the product limit and by keeping the EMI under about 50% of income after other obligations.
What is the EMI on a ₹5 lakh Axis Bank personal loan?
At the indicative rate of 16.5% over 5 years the EMI is about ₹12,292. Over 60 months that totals ₹7,37,536, of which roughly ₹2,37,536 is interest.
